ROUND 3 INTRO LOG



Welcome to The Island. The Witch extends her greetings to you on this fine day, and is pleased to finally begin the game. Please, take a seat.

Though this game may be more difficult than originally expected, there are high hopes placed upon you. Fight well against what awaits you in order to reach a truly sparkling end.

The difficulty level is challenging, but also depends on you. Think deeply on your moves as you play.





You wake with a start - even if you don't remember falling asleep in the first place - and find yourself standing on the dock of what looks like an island. There's a noise behind you - and if you turn to look, you'll see a plain white boat taking off and leaving you all behind, not stopping for a second if you try to flag them down or scream at them.

It doesn't look like you can swim to shore, either - there's nothing but sea in all directions, and something tells you trying to swim out will end up badly. However, a small dip, if you were so inclined, would be fine. It's not like the weather is bad for it - it feels like it's summer, despite it having been firmly springish at the Foundation.

...Speaking of, what happened? The last thing you remember is being...wherever you were, and then seeing a yellow bird come towards you. Perhaps it was in the corner of your eye, or landed on your shoulder...regardless, all of you saw the bird before you were whisked away to this strange island.

Is it a new SCP? Something like this isn't outside the realm of their abilities, after all.

And there's something else. Your abilities are blocked, beyond those natural to your body. Try as you might, you just can't use any of your more supernatural or superhuman skills - though all of your physical abilities are intact, of course.

There is also a...letter? on your person, as if it was there all along - in your pocket or in your hand. It is...a remarkably plain envelope, and even the letter itself is plain parchment.

It reads:

'To the players in this game,

First and foremost, let me begin with an apology: for many of you, this is not a good time to bring you here, and forcing you to play in this game instead of asking nicely is quite rude of me. For that, you have my apologies.

However, as you will soon find out, this game is quite necessary. I hand-picked all of you because I felt you were the best for this task, strange circumstances notwithstanding, and I am sure you will excel beyond even my expectations. Please give me some consideration and play this game to your best efforts. Success will be greatly rewarded.

I will be watching, and I will intervene if needed. But I think all of you are up to this task. I am in your debt for this.

- The Witch of ██████████
'

...hm.

If you decide to head up the path, you'll find Goat....men? waiting for you near the doors to the mansion. Despite their bright red eyes, they merely bow politely and wordlessly bring you into the mansion, showing you your rooms and then stating that they will prepare food for you or anything else you should need whenever you want, in surprisingly deep voices.

As they leave, you can't help but wonder...

Where are you now?

My quills are styled exactly as they should be. Besides, if you cut the ends, they would cease to be sharp. Pointless.
anonnomnomnom: (Friends are like potatoes.)

[...]

[...]

--Oh, I see what you're doing! Pointless, like not pointy!

[He's laughing now, good job Shadow! You are now the equivalent of a stand-up comedian in his estimation. Hm.]
chaoscontrol: (huh?)

1/???

chaoscontrol: (what the flipping fuckbeans)

2/??

chaoscontrol: (the fuck even)

3/???

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
chaoscontrol: (fufufufu)

done

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yes. I suppose that would be the case.
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[A truly amazing range of faces, which Anon just watches like some kind of afternoon soap opera as he continues to monch. He can totally respect a guy with good recovery time??]

So you actually style them? I kind of thought they just grew like that.
chaoscontrol: (u....guu)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I could make them look more messy, I suppose, but in general -- the way they grow is the way they grow.
anonnomnomnom: (Wish I had the talent to study.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
More messy? Like a rock star? [...] Do you have rock stars?
chaoscontrol: (abnormally adorable)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shadow pauses and musses up his quills, giving him a bedhead look]

Of course we have rock stars.
anonnomnomnom: (Can you eat it?)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa...! You actually can change your hairstyle!

[He had no idea quills could do that??]

We don't really have rock stars where I come from, or creatures like you... [leaning down to take a closer look, and probably reaching out to poke the quills] Are you actually a secret rock star?
chaoscontrol: (neutral arms crossed)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not play an instrument, nor do I sing. So no, I am not. [he allows Anon in his personal space bubble... for now. The quills themselves are incredibly sharp and barbed]
anonnomnomnom: (Wait I only have one gun.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehh, but everyone can sing, even you!

[He doesn't seem put off by the quills! He just examines them delicately and curiously and doesn't flinch even if he gets poked. Pet? Petpet? Pet?]
chaoscontrol: (let me tell you all the ways you are wro)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[he draws the line at being pet. He swats Anon's hand away]

Well, I do not sing well. How about that.
anonnomnomnom: (Friends are like potatoes.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He allows himself to be swatted away, laughing a little.]

Oh, I thought rock'n roll was just a lot of yelling with music behind it! I didn't know you had to sing really well, too!
chaoscontrol: (glare from below)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-25 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
It helps to have at least some sense of rhythm and tone. Or so I hear.

[he smooths his quills back down]
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-25 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, it's sounding more and more complicated. I definitely don't have the talent to be a rock star.

[He doesn't seem disappointed by this. It's very matter-of-fact??]

What are you, then?
chaoscontrol: (garnier fructis)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-26 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
By trade? ... Mmm. An agent, I suppose. Even before coming to the foundation.
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-26 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Like a secret agent?

[Anon, you are a secret agent. Technically.]
chaoscontrol: (neutral arms crossed)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-27 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I suppose that's the best way to put it.
anonnomnomnom: (I'm not that great. Really!)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-28 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
So what did you do before?

[Who needs secrets when you're fellow agents--]

Does that mean you're also pretty strong?
